For those who don't know about the game, it's now selling for $9.99. Lots of bang for your buck, if you ask me.

With many hundreds of tracks available online and the ability to build your own, for $9.99, it's a no-brainer.

I just bought Unleashed for my PC and for some reason it wont get past the start screen. Any tips? And also does anyone know if you can get actual name brand bikes for this game? or for untamed(xbox360)?

My guess would be your graphics card on your computer might be the problem. If your computer meets all of the minimum requirements, you may want to check to see if there are any updated drivers for your graphics card.

You can download many new bikes and gear from individuals that made them at MCM factory.

I know there are people over there who have been running it on Vista. I'm not sure what they've done to make it work, but they definitely have.

Interesting. I tried to install MVA for PC on all of my computers and it only installed fine on one computer, my old laptop. The other comps install it successfully but crash as soon as the game starts up. My brother tried to install it on his Vista laptop and no luck there. I'll have to do some research and figure out how to do that.

There is a lot of bugs in the game like I can't upload my profile so I have to set everything from scratch when I start the game each time. Online play barely works. (That Hamachi deal worked at one point but it got more annoying with the frequent glitches and other bugs.) Once the game works, man, it's awesome to say the least. I'm interested to see when that MVA 2009 update will be out and see what it does. I hope it improves on many levels and gets more people the ability to play the game.

FYI, I just installed and ran MVA on Windows Vista tonight without having to do anything, just installed the CD and the Patch released by Rainbow and it ran great.

if you can't load a saved game it sounds like you haven't patched. install the game then download patch version 1.1.... this should fix several glitches and issues. also i run this game on vista 64. runs perfectly with no glitches. it's not the os that won't allow... i would say your drivers or hardware.

HAHA.
I just did that with my brother's laptop (Vista equipped) and it works flawless! I noticed something though....both laptops that have the game and work well are Gateways....same graphics cards for both I assume? Now, my bro doesn't have to steal my laptop every time yay!

It is only a mod pack that some members in the community are working on. Go here for more info on it. Also read the thread since a lot of questions have been answered in it.

As far as running MvA on Vista, yes it does work. If you are having problems, right click the game exe and go down to properties. Then click on the compatibility tab and check the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for: Then choose Windows XP SP2. Also check the box that says Run this program as administrator. That should solve the problems.

Supercross Circuit for PS1...best motocross game ever.
16 replica rounds of SX from that year (1999) and all 12 national round replicas.
Easy track editor. Real riders (even Jimmy Button and Doug Henry on 4 strokes!).
The first game with a way to actually do sick scrubs with whipping the bike on the ramp...and this is before that "Bubba Scrub" made its way on the scene.
989 Studios made that game btw.

I'm digging MX vs. ATV Unleashed for PC currently because of the custom tracks and bike/rider skins, mods, and other cool things you can add to make the game more exciting. It occasionally crashes but its fun overall.
SX Circuit is a badass game that ive actaully been playing a lot lately. No game has come close. Only 9 SX races though.

It won't have terrain wear in it. That is something that we cannot do, it would be in the code of the game- something we don't have.

My friend talked me into digging out my old Playstation and Supercross Circuit game last week. Once we got the hang of it again, it was a BLAST.

Unlike Untamed where it's WFO in the corners and then follow the leader until someone makes a mistake or misses a section (no real bar banging), SX Circuit is all about actual block passing and doing battle.

Sure, the graphics aren't that great compared to these days, but good lord...that was nearly 10 years ago!

Real riders on real bikes racing on the actual tracks from back then. Wow...what a concept!

I'm sure Rainbow will just throw a few new all-terrain vehicles in and call it good.

I absolutely agree with you.
The MX video game world has definitely taken a bunch of steps back since SX Circuit came out. A few fantasy free ride tracks were cool but now these days, every track is a fantasy track on the new games. It was just so cool to race on a national replica track just because some of those tracks are what I have raced on in real life (Broome-Tioga, Unadilla, etc...). I lost my copy of SX Circuit a few years ago and would love to get my hands on one and relive that game when I get some time. It just annoys the hell out of me with the way technology has came about over the last 10 years that a game made 10 years ago is better than today's games.

BTW, was the racing (in real life) better 10 years ago than it is today?

So bottom line is, for those of us who aren't total dorks there is no new game coming out? That sucks, you would think the super nerds that create these games would realize that the Xbox and PS3 are pretty popular. oh well

Ive been playing it a lot. keep getting my ass handed to me at Millville. They did a great job with SX Circuit, indoors is pretty easy. But with Henry in the mix I have a hard time with the MX season.

Thats my favorite part, real tracks. Nice realistic 65ft triples, outdoors with real jumps. No 50 ft wide tracks with 300 ft doubles. Bar banging at its finest.

Oh yeah, and track creator, verrrr nice.

I agree. Supercross circuit was and still is the BEST moto game yet. The real tracks and somewhat realistic jumps havent been matched in a game yet.

yep I agree... my xbox 360 recently got the "red ring of death", so I decided to pull out my PS2 and play some SX Circuit, but my damn PS2 wont read the SX disk. But I do remember playing that game like crazy when I was like 10. My favorite things about it were:

1. The intro video was badass! It had all the pros and everything. Nothing has ever come close to that video.
2. The use of real tracks and riders.
3. The use of "ruts". No other game has ruts like SX Circuit. You slam into those things and you hit the "roost" button and your flyin out of there.
4. The parts actually wear out. Like when you have to buy new tires all the time.

Man, I played this game the most out of all the games I've ever had. If I could only get it to read on the PS2... ohh... and anybody ever play Jeremy McGrath Supercross 98? haha.. that game was ridiculous.

"EA Sports Supercross" had an insane intro video as well. (With the song by MXPX "Next Big Thing") That game was similar to SX Circuit with the speed burst and all that stuff. Had Daytona on there and a handful of nationals but it can get unrealistic pretty quick when you can clear entire sections with a tap of the clutch hahaha.
